ABSTRACT:
Pipelines and engines are studied under the thermal stress during operation. With the calculated ratios obtained, it is possible to settle practical issues in operation in order to increase the reliability and safety of equipment. To this end, it is first necessary to investigate the thermal mode of the pipeline, the engine for the planned period by the operations control centre. At the same time, the equipment with the average temperature at a certain time of the year exceeding the design value should be identified. In addition, the equipment concerning the nature of jamming should be studied at the sections specified in such a way. In case of identifying the jammed sections based on the above calculated ratios by thermal deformation and stressing the necessary value of movement of the sections, it should be determined that the actual voltage does not exceed the permissible level.
